Second, since the muxpin pin in each case needs to be connected to the corresponding pin inside the module, and the pin multiplexing in the normal function (normal) mode needs to be connected to 4 different modules, possibly corresponding to the input or output of the module, or corresponding to the input and output enable three signals at the same time, the path of the corresponding module signal and the signal name corresponding to the module should be filled in the verification table, and the function selection signal, direction, initial value, etc. also need to be filled in the pin multiplexing design table.

It takes a lot of time to look up these signals and their corresponding names when filling out the verification table.
In addition, if there is signal modification in the verification process, a large number of verification table modifications are involved, and the corresponding signal of each functional mode needs to be modified and then verified again, so that unnecessary errors are easily caused.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that numerous technical details are set forth in order to provide a better understanding of the present application in various embodiments of the present invention. However, the technical solution claimed in the present application can be implemented without these technical details and various changes and modifications based on the following embodiments.
The first embodiment of the invention relates to a pin reuse verification method. The pin multiplexing verification method is used for pin multiplexing verification of an integrated circuit chip, and the integrated circuit chip comprises a pin multiplexing module and at least one functional module. Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, the integrated circuit chip includes: the device comprises a functional module 1, a functional module 2, a functional module 3, a functional module 4, a pin multiplexing module and a multiplexing output module. The pin multiplexing module corresponds to the multiplexing of one or several pins in an integrated circuit chip. As can be seen from fig. 1, one pin can multiplex 4 functions, each of which can be set to an input, an output, or both, one function at a time being selected for connection to an output port. Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, any pin may only multiplex one or more of the 4 functions, and is not limited herein. In addition, the integrated circuit chip may include a plurality of functional modes, such as a normal functional mode, a test functional mode, and the like. The functions realized by different functional mode pins are different, and the multiplexing of the pins is also different.
As shown in fig. 2, the pin multiplexing verification method includes:
step S10: and generating a pin multiplexing design table according to a preset rule, wherein the preset rule defines the pin multiplexing design table to comprise a pin name of the pin multiplexing module, a function name realized by at least one function module and a corresponding function direction, and the function name comprises a name of the function module and a signal name connected with the pin multiplexing module.
In the embodiment of the invention, the signal of the pin multiplexing module and the signal of the corresponding functional module can be connected according to the functional name. Since the absolute path of the function module needs to be defined in the environment in the process, the absolute path of the function module can be acquired by analyzing the name of the function module through the script tool, so that the macro definition of the corresponding function module can be generated by analyzing the name of the function module, the path and the specific signal name of the corresponding function module can be represented, and then the pin multiplexing module can be connected with the corresponding function module by connecting signals.
In addition, because only one function name corresponding to one function module in the pin multiplexing design table is provided, and there may be a plurality of signals connected to the pin multiplexing module, for example, the signals may include input signals, output signals and enable signals, at this time, the signal names may be processed according to the preset rule to generate a plurality of signal names of the function module and a plurality of signal names of the corresponding pin multiplexing module, so as to distinguish different signals of the same function module. For example, three signals corresponding to a signal name dp _ rbdp _ data connected to the pin multiplexing block are' U _ chip _ dp. Wherein,' U _ chip _ DP is an absolute path of a functional block defined in an environment, and rdp _ data _ in, rdp _ data _ out, and rdp _ data _ en are three signal names generated according to a preset rule, and sequentially connect the generated three signals to an input, an output, and an enable of a corresponding pin of the pin multiplexing block.
In the normal functional mode, a pin multiplexing design table is shown in table 1, in which a pin number (Gpio No.) is 1 and a pin name (ballname) is RFCKEN, and the pin can multiplex functions 1 and 3 without functions corresponding to functions 2 and 4 and need not be filled in. The function name of function 1 is ddrpwr _ rf _ osc _ en, and the corresponding function direction is O, indicating output. Function 3 has the function name gpio [1] with direction I/O, indicating both input and output.
TABLE 1 Pin multiplexing design Table
Figure BDA0001199927240000061
The pin multiplexing structure formed according to the pin multiplexing design table shown in table 1 is shown in fig. 3. The pin multiplexing module can be represented by a pin name, and the name ddrpwr of the function module 1 is obtained from the function name ddrpwr _ rf _ osc _ en of the function 1, and the name gpio of the function module 3 is obtained from the function name gpio [1] of the function 3. The RFCKEN pin does not have the corresponding functions of the multiplexing function 2 and the multiplexing function 4, and the function module 2 and the function module 4 are empty (null) and do not need to be changed.
In the embodiment of the invention, 224 pins of the integrated circuit chip and four functions of each pin can be processed according to the preset rule.
Step S11: and running the script tool according to the pin name, the function name and the function direction to form a connection file for representing the connection of the signal between the pin and the at least one function module.
In step S11, the preset rule defines that the function name includes the name of the function module and the name of the signal connected to the pin multiplexing module. Taking table 1 as an example, the function name of function 1 is broken down into two parts according to the first dashed line, the former part is the name of function module 1, and the latter part is the name of the signal connected to the pin multiplexing module. The output signal of function 1 of pin RFCKEN is connected to the rf _ soc _ en signal of the functional module ddrpwr, the name ddrpwr of which is macro-defined in the environment, directly defining the path hierarchy of the module, i.e. the absolute path. Rf _ soc _ en is then directed out to mux _ out 1. Meanwhile, the input, output and enable signals of function 3 of the connection pin RFCKEN to the functional module gpio are connected with mux _ in3, mux _ out3 and mux _ en3 signals, respectively. For function block gpio, the signal for function 3 is automatically connected to the corresponding signal for that function block gpio by the scripting tool, i.e., input signal connected to gpio _ in [1], output signal connected to gpio _ out [1], enable signal connected to gpio _ ddr [1 ].
It is contemplated that an integrated circuit chip may include multiple functional modes, and that different functional mode pins may implement different functions and different multiplexing of pins may be used. Thus, in the embodiment of the invention, for a plurality of functional modes of the integrated circuit chip, the script tool is operated according to the pin name, the functional name and the functional direction to form a plurality of connection files respectively representing the connection between the pin corresponding to the functional mode and at least one functional module. Specifically, the script tool presets the pin multiplexing information required in each functional mode, and then the script tool is run to form a plurality of connection files respectively connected with the pins corresponding to the functional modes and at least one functional module according to the pin names and the functional names acquired from the pin multiplexing design table.
In the embodiment of the invention, the signal of the pin multiplexing module can be automatically decomposed into different functional modes according to the pin multiplexing design table, and the signal of the pin multiplexing module is connected to corresponding signals of different functional modules by analyzing the information in the pin multiplexing design table, so that the signal of each pin multiplexing module does not need to be manually searched and filled in the level of the signal of the functional module. When the information of the pin multiplexing module is modified, signals corresponding to each functional module do not need to be modified, and only the script tool needs to be operated again according to the pin multiplexing design table, so that the connection file of the pin multiplexing module and the functional module in the modified functional mode can be directly generated, and human errors can be reduced.
Step S12: and verifying signals between the pins and the at least one functional module in the connection file according to the added excitation of the functional direction.
In step S12, stimuli are automatically added by the scripting tool for different functional modes according to the functional directions in the pin multiplexing design table. Specifically, when the function direction is output, adding excitation at one side of the function module to verify a signal of an output port of the pin multiplexing module; when the function direction is input, adding excitation at an input port of the pin multiplexing module, and verifying a signal of a functional module port; and when the function direction is bidirectional, controlling the enabling signal, respectively adjusting the function direction to be input or output, and verifying. Therefore, when verification is carried out, a verification table does not need to be filled in, and the verification time can be saved; and according to the whole path from the pin multiplexing module to the functional module signal, the test vector is automatically generated by directly analyzing the pin multiplexing design table without filling any excitation during verification, and the automatic verification of the pin multiplexing is completed.
Referring to fig. 4, continuing with the normal functional mode as an example, with function 1 oriented as output, a high level is applied to mux _ out1 to check if the signal value at output port pout is 1, and then a low level is applied to mux _ out1 to continue to detect if the signal value at output port pout is 0. If the functional direction is input, excitation is applied to the input port pin on the multiplexing output module side, whether the signal mux _ in of the functional module port is a corresponding value or not is detected, and whether the data is correct or not is detected. The direction in function 3 is bidirectional, and the state of the function direction is adjusted by controlling the enable signal, so that the function direction is tested as input and output respectively. Mux _ en3 is first set to 1, then the stimulus is applied to mux _ out3 to detect the signal value at the output port pout, mux _ en3 is then set to 0, the stimulus is applied to Pin, and the data value is detected as correct at the module side mux _ in 3. And automatically connecting pins needing to be added with excitation according to the function direction through a script tool.
According to the connection file generated in the step S11, according to the method, the pins of each pin multiplexing module are sequentially verified, and when the pin multiplexing module designed with an update or a project is changed, only the script tool needs to be re-run to generate a verification function mode corresponding to the new design, thereby realizing the verification of the pin multiplexing, without any manual modification, reducing the possibility of errors caused by modifying a large number of signals manually, making the verification more reliable, and making the verification more efficient.
The steps of the above methods are divided for clarity, and the implementation may be combined into one step or split some steps, and the steps are divided into multiple steps, so long as the steps contain the same logical relationship, which is within the protection scope of the present patent; it is within the scope of the patent to add insignificant modifications to the algorithms or processes or to introduce insignificant design changes to the core design without changing the algorithms or processes.

One pin may multiplex 4 functions, each of which may be set to an input, an output, or both, one function at a time being selected for connection to an output port. Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, any pin may only multiplex one or more of the 4 functions, and is not limited herein. In addition, the integrated circuit chip may include a plurality of functional modes, such as a normal functional mode, a test functional mode, and the like.

In the process, the absolute path of the function module needs to be defined in the environment, so the absolute path of the function module can be obtained by analyzing the name of the function module through a script tool, and thus, the macro definition of the corresponding function module can be generated by analyzing the name of the function module through the table establishing module, the macro definition represents the path and the specific signal name of the corresponding function module, and then the pin multiplexing module can be connected with the corresponding function module by connecting signals.
In addition, because only one function name corresponding to one function module in the pin multiplexing design table is provided, and there may be a plurality of signals connected to the pin multiplexing module, for example, the signals may include input signals, output signals and enable signals, at this time, the signal names may be processed according to the preset rule to generate a plurality of signal names of the function module and a plurality of signal names of the corresponding pin multiplexing module, so as to distinguish different signals of the same function module.
